Autopsy may show that Yan Yan died of an accidental overdose

After twelve years of not getting laid, Yan Yan the Chinese panda finally kicked the bucket late Monday at the Berlin Zoo. Officials admits she died alone and nobody immediately noticed. Now the media is running with the story that the popularity of Knut the polar bear cub may be the reason behind the death of his neighbor. In other news, the European Union celebrated its 50th birthday in Berlin. Nobody noticed.

In other news, the European Union celebrated its 50th birthday in Berlin. Nobody noticed. I sure as hell noticed. That's all they talked about over here for a week. Now that it has come and gone, I have 2 questions. Is Anne Nicole still dead? and how can I get Knut's autograph?

I knew because I got the Economist with the cover picture of the bronze bust that had the hell of big titties with the too prominent nipples.

I'd like correct out a typo in the last link - Nobody Noticed: It was the first time that the general public had a chance to see Kunt in the flesh. That should read "Knut". *tap tap* Is this thing on?

As far as the panda I saw in Guangzhou zoo goes, I wonder how anyone would have known the difference between alive and dead until some lackeys came to change its literie.

This whole knut business seems fishy. What "animal rights group" called for him to be left to die? The name is never mentioned. Now knut may have killed a panda too! I think Knut has some savvy marketing going on.

I think Knut has some savvy marketing going on. Bild Zeitung has been behind most of this. They subscribe to a rather loose set of journalistic standards. Cute bears above the fold and tits below. That's sells. That's no surprise though. More info (in German)

So - pandas die and the European Union celebrates its birthday... Coincidence? I think not!

"They subscribe to a rather loose set of journalistic standards. This wins the euphemism of the day award." And how. BZ is like The (NY) Post but without the editorial restraint and with lots of pictures of boobs. Come to think of it, it's not a bad paper... /snark

For some reason, seeing "hell of big titties" written out like that bugs me. Isn't it just "hella"? Shouldn't the Hell of Big Titties be where 38DDs go if they've been bad?

Wasn't the Hell of Big Titties in Big Trouble in Little China? I think it was right after the Hell of the Upside-Down Sinners.

Hell of Big Titties is like the most egregious oxymoron ever. Any place with big titties can't be hell. It's also a great band name.

nebulawindphone writes "For some reason, seeing 'hell of big titties' written out like that bugs me. Isn't it just 'hella'?" I had just read like 100 episodes of Achewood before posting that comment, and I guess Roast Beef's usage patterns had infected me. Also I was drinking last night.
